She noted that participants typically fundraise leading up to the event.

"Day of we have different opportunities to donate, as well," Randall said.

People are welcome to donate when they register.

"We'll have a few different raffles going on," she said. "We have tribute balloons."

Entertainment will be provided by a deejay.

"We have face painting," Randall said.

More than a dozen vendors, including local resources and businesses, will also be on hand.

Light refreshments and snacks will be available.

"It's just a big party," she said.

The walk takes part at the end of the event.

"We kind of use it as a victory lap," Randall said.

The route is designed for all ages and abilities, including wheelchairs and equipment.

"Anybody can take part in the walk," she said. "It's a smaller walk."

More than 140 Muscle Walk events are expected to take place throughout the United States this year. Last year, participants raised $8 million; over $33.8 million has been raised since it began in 2011.

Randall encouraged the public to come out and take part.

"It's a great opportunity to raise awareness out in the community," she said.
